The Sea Eagles had a ripper win in the Harold Matthews Cup and came bloody close to causing a major upset in the Tarsha Gale Cup.

The visitors were behind 12-6 with less than 10 minutes left before replacement back Jack Kalms scored two tries quick as a flash to turn the tide Manly's way.

The Rabbitohs got on the board in the fourth minute when five-eighth Payton Tarau made the most of a stacked short side

Manly missed a golden opportunity to score 17 minutes into the game after a barnstorming run through the middle, only to drop the ball right near the try line.

The Bunnies notched their second try five minutes later when replacement hooker Charlie Bateup kicked through and scooped up the ball from dummy half right near the try line.

Trailing 8-0, Manly's first try came just before half time when replacement forward Lukas Butler powered over from around 10 metres out, following a top-notch run from Cooper Close.
